Some computers support a data exchange method called Cable Select. If your PC uses Cable Select then all devices
need to be set to Cable Select as well. Also, the IDE cable must be designed for Cable Select communication.
Simply position the jumper for Cable Select and install the drive according to the instructions beginning on the opposite
